She's All That
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0160862/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
I usually alternate on boring Sunday nights watching a movie one Sunday with a movie I haven't seen and the following Sunday. Last night was the later, and again feeling nostalgic, I put on a typical American high school comedy movie.
She's All That is your typical high school prom king and queen story and the run in defending the star status in the upcoming election. High school hottie, Zack Siler is dumped by his prom-queen girlfriend, the equally attractive and extremely popular, Taylor Vaughan who fell for a second-hand world reject TV soap star who she met over the spring break. Having been publicly dumped, Zack defends his discomposure by stating that Taylor is all make-up and wonder-bra and he can make any ordinary girl a prom queen with a similar package. His high-school buddy, Dean Sampson, engages him in a bet following this statement and picks the geeky looking Laney Boggs out of the crowd as the girl Zack must transform into the new prom queen. Zack agrees since he has no option, but as time passes and Laney begins to transform, Zack begins to find her attractive. While all that falls beautifully in place, it's not your typical fairy-tale.
One thing about this movie that REALLY stood out was the Miami pool party scene, seeing all the girls there wearing bikinis and costumes that did not show even 1% of their ass... unlike the g-string bikinis that have become a normal thing these days. Now THAT took me back to the good old days.
There was a touch of sadness for me watching this movie seeing a young Paul in this movie with a head full of blonde hair.
7/10.
